Start Your WordPress Blog

Welcome Some New Sponsors

I like to take this time to welcome a couple of new sponsors, who also happen to be fellow bloggers. This just goes to show that if you want to grow your blog, sometimes you need to spend a bit of money.

Mitch Harper’s Interspire SendStudio

Mitch Harper is a man who wears many hats. He has his own blog at HarpzOn.com that gives advice on driving more web traffic and he is a guest blogger on this blog as well. Mitch’s main moneymaker, however, is his software company, Interspire.

Interspire SendStudio is the best newsletter software I have ever used. Mitch like that quote so much he is using it on the banner that’s running at the bottom of each posts. If you’re looking for a great piece of software to send out newsletters, SendStudio is the one to get. Read my full review of the product here.

Jeremy Miller’s Jemmille.com

A big thank you goes out to Jeremy Miller for purchasing a text link on this blog through Text link Ads. I’m sure Jeremy took advantage of the $100 TLA coupon. I guess Jeremy looked at the effort it would take to get and maintain a Top Commentators position and concluded that paying $200 for a link would be easier.

Jeremy’s blog is getting well known for his 5 Questions With section. This where Jeremy asks five questions with famous bloggers. So far Aaron Wall, Shoemoney, Steve Rubel and yours truly have taken part. Check out my answers to the the five questions.

I have been commenting (without spamming) for over a week now, but it seems that others just comment more and more as the top 10 get so competitive. The list keeps me coming back, and I am sure it does for others too.

Charities…John, I’m sure I’m not alone when I say this, but that’s just so noble of you. I don’t remember reading about your humanitarian causes on your site. That was so nice of Jeremy to highlight that part in his post.

This is a prying question. Do you have any kind of statistics as to how much traffic you generate for your sponsors? Review Me is $300 and how is that cost justified? Is there a range of how many uniques can be expected from it?

As far as the top 10 comments thing goes, I think the more important factor than being shown on the page is the quality of your actual comments. I think more people click your name after reading a quality comment than just click the top comments thing in the sidebar.

"How I Went From Zero to Over $100,000 a Month"

The Original Dot Com Mogul

John Chow, a damn fine person, friend of the community, Ultimate Fighting Championship contestant, member of the Save the Whales Foundation, the man who controls the black market on baby seal pelts and member of the probably yo’ daddy foundation...

John Chow rocketed onto the blogging scene when he showed the income power of blogging by taking his blog from making zero to over $40,000 per month in just two years.
